"Byakuya, how did you know about their marriage alliance?" asked Morgans. 

Byakuya replied casually, "I was just guessing." 

Of course, Byakuya had based this guess on the storyline from his past life, making it about ninety percent certain. 

Still, he couldn't exactly tell Morgans that.

Morgans shook his head and said, "Byakuya, I don't think that was just a wild guess. It sounds very plausible." 

"But if that's the case, you realize that staying here might mean your Night Organization could face the combined might of both the Big Mom Pirates and the Vinsmoke family."

Byakuya laughed it off, "I was just speaking casually. After all, who says they're the only ones who could ally?" 

"For all we know, Big Mom could be planning a marriage alliance with our Night Organization instead! No need to overthink it." 

Deep in thought, Morgans responded, "Well, it's not entirely impossible…"

Byakuya chuckled inwardly; this "birdman" was spiraling into wild imaginings. 

He had no intention of sticking around for that, so by the time Morgans snapped out of his musings, Byakuya was already gone. 

Far from disappointed, Morgans looked even more excited, muttering, 

"Wherever the Night Organization is, there's bound to be big news. This tea party is shaping up to be quite the show."

The tea party began in earnest the following day, with attendees entering in the order Big Mom had arranged. 

First were the small-time factions from the New World, then the up-and-coming pirates making a name for themselves, hoping to curry favor with Big Mom. 

Next came the kings within Big Mom's territory, including the Vinsmoke family. 

Judge, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and even Sanji arrived, which made Byakuya's eyes light up. 

If Sanji was here, it would confirm a marriage alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and the Vinsmoke family, meaning a fight was likely on the horizon.

Byakuya discreetly ordered Lucci and the others to stay ready for battle. 

However, he wasn't worried; instead, he felt an odd excitement, knowing that because of the Night Organization's actions. 

The Vinsmoke family and Big Mom Pirates were forming this alliance three years ahead of the original timeline. 

To think, even Luffy hadn't set out to sea yet. 

If the alliance succeeded, the Straw Hat Pirates would lose Sanji as a crew member, thus altering the storyline. 

Wouldn't that grant him a massive influx of World Source power? Sanji was one of the "Monster Trio," after all! 

The more Byakuya thought about it, the more excited he got, his grin stretching ear to ear. 

He even missed his cue to enter the banquet, standing there with a foolishly wide smile.

Fortunately, his mask covered his face, so no one noticed his unusual expression. 

Otherwise, his behavior might have led the guests to believe that the mysterious leader of the Night Organization was nothing more than a joke or a fool. 

Since Byakuya hadn't moved, neither did Lucci and the others. The other guests began to notice something was amiss. 

Everyone else had entered in turn, yet the six members of the Night Organization, intended as the grand finale, remained outside. 

Could they be planning to cause trouble? The atmosphere was becoming tense even before the party started.

The judge eyed the Night Organization members at the banquet entrance in surprise, wondering if they had learned about our alliance with Big Mom and were too intimidated to step inside. 

Katakuri observed them with irritation. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't foresee Byakuya's actions even with his Observation Haki. 

He cursed inwardly. What are they planning to do? With Big Mom about to arrive, things could escalate fast if she saw them refusing to enter. 

So he hurried over, saying, "Mr. Byakuya, is there something unsatisfactory about our arrangements?"

"Huh? Not at all," Byakuya responded absent-mindedly, snapped back to reality by Katakuri's voice.

"Then why are you still not entering?" Katakuri asked.

Byakuya grinned, "I was just caught up in a happy thought and didn't realize it was our turn to enter." 

The thought of soon gaining a massive amount of World Source power naturally thrilled him.

Katakuri paused, then replied, "Well, Mama will arrive soon, so it's best to get seated early."

Byakuya led Lucci and the others inside, sitting close to the main table. 

Seated nearby to Byakuya's right was the Vinsmoke family—perhaps a deliberate choice by Big Mom. 

To his left was a section reserved for the underground leaders, including Morgans. 

When Morgans spotted Byakuya, he gave a friendly nod, but Byakuya barely noticed, his attention drawn to a "young" and "charming" woman seated nearby.

If he wasn't mistaken, that woman was Stussy, Queen of the Pleasure District, another major figure in the Pirate World's underworld. 

However, her true identity was that of a CP0 agent, and she was quite formidable. 

Ever since the Night Organization killed several CP0 operatives and wiped out CP8, the World Government has harbored a deep grudge.

However, the World Government was completely dark about the Night Organization. 

As a CP0 agent, Stussy had a rare opportunity to get close to them, so naturally, she aimed to gather useful information to report back to the World Government. 

It would be a major achievement if she could uncover the real identities of the Night Organization members. 

Stussy quickly noticed Byakuya looking her way and boldly met his gaze. Her eyes were filled with sultry charm that seemed capable of igniting hidden desires within anyone.

Her delicate, inviting smile revealed two shallow dimples on her fair cheeks, making her seem like a pure, innocent eighteen-year-old—a delicate, flawless flower one couldn't help but admire. 

This blend of innocence and allure created a potent contrast that could be overwhelming for most men. 

But to Byakuya, Stussy's antics were nothing but revolting. 

It wasn't that Byakuya had reached some ascetic level of purity like Sanji, but rather that Stussy only looked young—eighteen or nineteen at most—when, in reality, she was pushing eighty years or more. 

Just imagine an eighty-year-old woman winking seductively at you. No matter how beautiful a "grandma" might be, she could never match the vitality of a twenty-year-old. 

This was not the kind of "quadruple vitality" that could be overlooked!

So, with each flirtatious glance, Stussy cast his way, Byakuya grew more determined to end her. 

But Stussy, entirely unaware, assumed she had the Night Organization's leader wrapped around her finger, so she winked at him even more frequently. 

From her experience, she could extract every last secret once she got someone in bed, leaving them entirely at her mercy. 

Then, she could report everything back to the World Government. 

Knowing how seriously they regarded the Night Organization, her rewards would be substantial.

If the banquet weren't about to begin, she would have happily seated herself in Byakuya's lap to discuss life goals more "intimately."

Meanwhile, Morgans observed the "interaction" between Byakuya and Stussy, mulling over whether he should subtly warn Byakuya. 

He knew Stussy wasn't just any woman—getting involved with her could be deadly. 

Morgans still hoped the Night Organization would provide him with more exclusive headlines so he couldn't let them fall into Stussy's trap. 

Casually, Morgans shifted his position, blocking Stussy's view of Byakuya, which annoyed her so much that she almost ripped off his wing right there.

Just then, a massive figure descended from the sky on a cloud, and all around, the animated flowers, trees, and other living objects chorused in unison, "Welcome, Mama!"
